Microwave Microwave utensil guide Suitable ovenware ▯ Heat-resistant glass, glass-ceramic: Utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates, cake plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles and bowls without metallic trim (e.g. Pyrex®, Anchor Hocking™, Corning Ware®, etc.). ▯ China: Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters without metallic trim. ▯ Plastic films and wraps: Plastic wrap (as a cover) - lay the plastic wrap loosely over the dish and press it to the sides. Vent plastic wrap by turning back one edge slightly to allow excess steam to escape. The dish should be deep enough so that the plastic wrap will not touch the food. ▯ Microwave-safe plastics: Microwave-safe plastic dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer containers and plastic bags for short cooking times. Use these with care because the plastic may soften from the heat of the food. ▯ Paper products: Paper towels, wax paper, parchment paper, paper napkins and paper plates with no metallic trim or design. Look for the manufacturers label for any special instructions for use in the microwave oven. 12 Unsuitable ovenware ▯ Metal utensils and cookware: Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces uneven cooking. Also, avoid metal skewers, thermometers or foil trays. Metal utensils can cause arcing, which can damage your microwave oven. ▯ Metal decoration: Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters with metallic trim. ▯ Aluminum foil: Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder cooking and may cause harmful arcing. Use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs and wings. Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the side walls of the oven cavity and door of the microwave. ▯ Wood: Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack when you use them in the microwave oven. Baskets made of wood will react in the same way. ▯ Tightly covered cookware: Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered cookware. Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items before cooking. Tightly closed pouches may explode.
